THANK GOD FOR THE SMOKE MACHINE!
Real talk, when I was a kid I thought Yamcha's manipulable ki ball attack was the coolest poo poo ever. It really kept me from seeing how lame Yamcha was for years.

This is very different from Kid Goku who had a really weird moral compass and would gladly murder anyone who crossed his path. It's honestly horrifying to read some of his lines while thinking just how different he is than how he'd be as an adult. He just fully accepted to destroy the Red Ribbon Army not because it's the right thing to do, not because it would have strong fighters, but because Snow helped him so he'll pay her back in blood. You can very clearly see why Togashi decided it'd be fun to take Kid Goku but put him in a far more cynical world, giving us Gon. Someone who the series does not even pretend isn't creepy as all hell.

Nah man, you're exaggerating. The closest thing to a bloodthirsty kid Goku was during the King Piccolo saga and is totally justified there (moreso when namekians weren't a thing and Piccolo and co. were straight up demons). With the Red Ribbon army guys he mostly just knocked them out leaving them making funny faces, also remember that he was ready to pardon Tao even after killing Upa's father.
Also, how is not helping Snow's village or retrieving the remaining balls from the HQ to resurrect Upa's father the right thing to do?

How the gently caress can people stand the Ocean dub Cell Saga when Dameon Clarke is the perfect Cell.

The ocean dub was quite acceptable before funimation took over. I don't know what happened between then and when ocean were allowed to do voices again, but that flair they had before just wasn't there. Which is a shame, because most of the ocean dub voices just sounded right to me. It took me some time before I could really accept the funi voices and it was when they finally got the clue to stop pretending to be the ocean dub voices.

I also think the 4kids dub of one piece was better than people give it credit for.

Chris Sabat as saiyan saga Vegeta still doesn't sit right with me. In fact, I feel like the Ocean dub voice for him fits all the way until he starts fighting against Frieza.

He was apparently a good enough person to be granted a heavenly body (albeit as his old self instead of someone a bit more in his prime), so I don't think he has that much to complain about.

You're kidding, right?

Most of those soldiers were dead, and Goku doesn't care (beyond wanting more).

So do Goku's parents not get after-life bodies? Didn't his dad go back in time and do good stuff (is that even canon?) so he might deserve one?

Becoming a pro baseball player when you have superhuman speed and reactions isn't an achievement in my opinion.
He should really be famous for never failing to hit a home run, getting strikes while bowling(i don't know how baseball works) and catching it.

I mean, getting the superhuman attributes is an achievement, sure, but not the baseball bit after.

Tien and Yamcha have a better death record than Krillin only because they're almost never around and he always is. Krillin earned his Strongest Human title :colbert:

The afterlife we see is only Earths afterlife. Planet Vegita would have a different check in station (also it might be destroyed?). Frieza seemed to think he would destroy Earth afterlife by destroying Earth.

Goku's dad was a genocidal monster who happily ended several races because he really, really liked murdering. He was a good person for a Saiyan entirely because he actually cared about his family and friends, that still makes you a monster. The time-travel plot was created for the terrible History of Bardock manga (later adapted into an OVA) and is very far from canon.

After-life bodies aren't given to people for being good, they're given when the gods like them enough. Bardock and Gine were not important enough to deserve them, so Bardock's soul is probably just somewhere in Hell while Gine's is...somewhere. She didn't seem to deserve Hell but she is a Saiyan, so she was still probably cool with slaughtering entire races for fun and profit, even if she wasn't doing it herself.

Yamcha never cheated on Bulma, that was an invention of Budokai 3 that has Yamcha act wildly off-character.

She says he cheated on her in the very first episode of DBZ (at least the ultra censored dub I remember watching as a kid).

I want an "All Kills of Frieza" picture that is just filled to the brim with Saiyan corpses. You can't even see Frieza. Just corpses.

Maybe Krillin's arm poking out.

Souls reincarnate in db part of the reason you can't do it after and year so probably somewhere else. Most of the Saiyans probably went frieza levels of evil so do your time in hell then reincarnate I guess. Makes me think how the super dragonballs would handle a I wish back Vegeta wish would it have to be new saiyans?

Imo the super dragon balls work like the regular dragon balls before the need for a long term plot came about and suddenly they needed to have limitations.

So basically some magic would happen and everybody is alive again. What's that? There were some bits of old soul still stuck living people? Those are still there. Magic.
